The Spirit of Entrepreneurship in Business Students, Non-Business Students, and Small and Medium Entrepreneur

Abstract

There is debate as to whether entrepreneurs are born or can be created through education. Many business schools were established to produce entrepreneurs, but the fact is that many suc­cesful entrepreneurs are not graduates of business schools. This study aims to examine empi­ri­cally the entrepreneurial spirit of three different sample groups students who undertook a business course (accounting students), non-business students (engineering students), businessmen who are already involved in business activities (entrepreneurs). This study used a survey method. Data were analyzed using ANOVA. The total sample of this research were 254 respondents. The result showed that there was no empirical evidence regarding the entrepreneurial differences in the three groups. It was concluded that entrepreneurial skills are either there or not from birth. Business courses are not (or not yet) capable of triggering the entrepreneurial skills in a person

“…Pebisnis sendiri merupakan sebutan bagi orang-orang yang terlibat dalam usaha-usaha yang bertujuan untuk menghasilkan keuntungan. Narsa et al (2019) pada penelitiannya yang menguji mengenai perbedaan jiwa kewirausahaan antara mahasiswa akuntansi, mahasiswa non akuntansi, dan pebisnis menemukan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan antar ketiga kelompok tersebut.
